From Brendan's Post-------In times of crisis, I would do whatever it takes to protect those who are close to me, such as my friends and families. They have all helped me when I am in need and it would be wrong to just abandon them. It does not matter what happens to me as long as they are safe as I love them. I would be feeling worse when those that are important to me get hurt rather than me getting hurt.
I agree that is it important to protect your family. Their are many others out there who would also defend their families. I would defend my family too. How about your relatives who do not stay with you or you grandparents. Will anyone defend them when it is time. What i am trying to say is defending is not only about defending your family it is about defending everything around you. Country ,neighbours , friends all those people are worth defending too.
I would defend everyone whom is around me who i can get my hands on. Not only my family, but my country, they are all worth defending. I will do whatever it takes. Singaporeans should have the commitment and confidence in our country. If no one has the commitment to protect the country the city will crumble. Everyone will be equally selfish, they would only care for themselves. We have to help each other out and take responsibility in our acts to protect what is ours; to seek to be left in peace; to progress and prosper in a unique way, as a nation. When our country is in trouble it is not only the responsiblity of the Armed Forces or the Navy it is the responsibility of the whole entire nation. People of different races should work together, people of high status should work together with people of lower status, people must respect each other as well as provide equal opportunities for all regardless of race, language or religion. The civil defense should be on guard helping others to make sure that life goes on in times of need. Defence needs a lot of cooperation and a good working attitude with constant upgrading of one's skills. There are five different aspects of defence that we all should have psychological defence, social defence, economic defence, civil defence and military defence. We all should have these five aspects to progress as a nation.
